the weaponized gate is cool but makes more sense as a weaponized coronal shunt considering we already have domain era tech for teleporting stellar energy. speaking of which i wonder if we'll be able to hook up the coronal stations to our mini-network, or if we'll ever find out wtf powered those things ----------------

My superfreighters are passively at 9 burn without that engine mod because of that blue + yellow skill but the question now is do i grab a tug and accept 10 burn rate because my capital ships will be at that or do i install the engine mod on everything and get a 11+ burn rate?

Being able to do >10 burn speed is good for operating in hostile space, because you can generally outmaneuver patrols reliably with it. It also increases your "moving slowly" speed so if you combine it with the other blue line skill you can run silent at almost normal speed.

10 burn turned to 20 with sustained burn and 20 base burn are COMPLETELY different having a higher base burn lets you maneuver your fleet in the campaign much easier. the sustained burn skill makes turning a pain in the rear end i try to keep my base burn as high as possible even when im not sneaking so i can explore systems much easier as i fly planet to planet also, sustained burn makes it harder, if not impossible (until you turn it off), to get to research stations which are usually very close to the surface of stars

Never underestimate the utility of having several tugs to use, or leave somewhere for later usage, to aid in derelict recovery and overall transport speed facilitation! There's some times where I keep about 12ish tugs at a staging base or home headquarters world, so I can quickly assemble a 20-burn interception fleet that doesn't need to go into travel burn, much more maneuverable and easier to interdict targets that way. 20 base burn is absolutely amazing and feels like a definite edge over your competition!

Raine posted:insane mod idea im hallucinating after being unable to sleep all night from insomnia Aside from sprinting it pretty (spriting custom large stuff takes forever if you want it pretty) this would actually be very easy to make in a barebones way. So easy in fact that I made it for you in the most rudimentary way.  So no pretty sprite for the ship or gun, no fancy custom beam effect and no bombardment cost reduction. Just a vanilla hull and fake tachyon lance with dumb stats. The blueprint should in theory be dropped randomly in exploration but I sure have not bothered to test that or anything except laser color. To finish it just grab some free to use sprite in the modding subforum and/or make one yourself/have one made for you with copious cut and paste in Photoshop. Then use the "Starsector Ship&Weapon Editor" that can be found pinned in the modding subforum to edit the hull etc. Custom fluff descriptions for your things can be modified in the descriptions.csv within the strings folder.

In Tabitha there is an intact Guardian station which has the finale loot. You will need to poke around the system to find it but the description for it is pretty explicit about its value.

Thanks I just found it while rechecking Tabitha and actually engaging the defense not just flying around them. Definetly worth it tho.

My problem is all my civvy ships are at burn 9 but my combat ships burn 8 so even if i made them faster it'd still be slowed down by the combat ships. I'm going for increased sensor range to help me explore faster since i already got 10 burn atm. I scored and got 5 fast cruisers from pirates with only 2 d mods each so i went from lashers and wayfarers to loving fast cruisers haha. I got the d mod removing skill too now so now it's time to explore! The increased salvage skills are amazing and should be a must have, killing pirates in a bounty system will net you enough fuel to eventually explore it's awesome.

If anyone ever needs to hide poo poo in this galaxy, the only place truly safe from me is planets near neutron stars because gently caress dealing with that. I'm gonna have to find the fastest salvager/surveyor and try to bang em out.

I almost never look at the star type before jumping in unless I'm looking for something specific like research station or habitable planet. This means I will always jump in, get absolutely blasted by neutron stars and pushed out into the void on zero supplies.

I hate the loot in the stars corona that poo poo always eats my supplies and causes me to end exploring early. It's lead me to putting solar shields on all my capitals+support ships to ensure i don't get hit as hard.

Pro tip: pop emergency burn to salvage things in coronas or event horizons. You want to spend as little time in the hurty zone as possible.

Galaga Galaxian posted:What mod lets you change the portraits of officers? My bunch of mods also came with a bunch of portraits, and while many of them clash in terms of art style, the only one that is truly wtf is a classic "big titty anime lady", and I live in fear that one day a lvl7, 5-elite officer will be assigned that portrait and I'll have to deal with it for the rest of that run.

Atopian posted:Cunning use of transverse jump can help a lot when dealing with neutron stars. Alternatively: neutron stars can get hosed. Whatever's in the system can stay there. Every time I come back to the game I end up jumping into a system with a neutron star, getting caught directly in the path of a beam, go "oh right, that's a thing" and then have to limp back to the nearest piece of civilization with my ships only mostly holding together. We can tell that there's a fleet on the other side of a jump portal, I feel like we should be able to see the energy from a neutron star blasting out of it and get a warning about it.

The beam can be annoying but as long as you're quick to emergency burn out of it if you jump into it the supply cost shouldn't be too crippling. I find neutron stars are very worthwhile exploration targets because they frequently harbor research stations. Getting a warning about the beam before jumping is a good idea though. You might want to post that on the game's forums. Alex is really good about being receptive towards feedback.

The safest way to enter a neutron star system is to transverse jump (or gas giant jump) into the shadow of a planet.
